Question

How to safely open/close files in Python?

Answer 1

file = open("name.txt","r")

content = file.read()

file.close()

Note by doing this, the contents of the file will be erased so you gotta be smart. Just follow this.

file = open("name.txt","r+")

backup = file.read()

content = backup

file.write(content) #you can write extra contents.

file.close()

By this your content won't be erased.
